How to Start the Keto Diet In 10 Minutes!

[@jman4817]

YES! Make the video on all the food that you can eat! Please. Even just you firing off a list. Im definitely interested.

[@southernketo]

Thank you so much! I'm planning on doing that in January for you 😁

[@pjstpierre2340]

Victor, you hit all the necessary points. Succinctly stated! My mantra when I enter my keto kitchen ( as I gaze upon the vast amount of ingredients for Keto is: “ Cook Smarter not harder”. Taken me a while to get this sunk into my brain. So prep is SO important to me. What may take me a half hour one day a week saves me invaluable time on the homestead here- up north in the words lol Then, Throughout the week if I make a recipe for Victors Pumpkin cheesecakes I make one freeze one. Victors Chili - same . Victors Grandma’s Mac and cheese - same thing. This way, should someone we know fall ill I have a dinner and dessert to take that very day for the family. That’s what I love about your recipes. They make plenty, easy to put together… uses common ingredients and having great results is like winning every single time! Ok Victor! Time to take your Bow!!! Thank you!!!!

You are the “go to man” for anything keto! I love the passion you have to get the word out, while coming up with delicious recipes. You truly care about ppl and will help FREE with all your information and personal experience with eating the ketogenic way. That means A LOT bc not everyone can afford to pay for the information. You explain everything about keto so well. Victor, you’re a good friend to all of us. Thank you so much! 😊

Dude I'm 65 I just started using a blood glucose sensor that I can use my phone to read my levels. I had no idea what I was doing to my body with the crap I was eating and drinking. This sensor persuaded me to change my life style immediately. You and your recipes have helped me make this transition to a healthy lifestyle of eating. I've been at it now for about 2 months. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm getting their . My blood glucose is much lower than it was. I will get to my goal soon. Thank you 😊 Keep showing up I need your recipes. I love your channel.

[@Soja4Christ777]

My only issue is when I get up off of my PC to take my dog out to potty , I feel super weak as in pass out mode , any idea why ??

[@southernketo]

How long have you been doing it? Are you drinking electrolytes?

[@Soja4Christ777]

I drink one or two 32 ounce power aide zeroes a day . but I figured I need too drink more water. What u think. My main liquids are coffee and power aides but not much water.

[@southernketo]

​@@Soja4Christ777No, you need electrolytes. Powerade and all those are just great marketing. They don't have enough sodium, magnesium, or potassium to really hydrate you. I make my own electrolytes and I did a video about that if you haven't seen it and I will use SALTT on the go in little packets. I've got a discount code in the description for those if it's more convenient, but you definitely need more electrolytes. You only need to drink when you're thirsty. When you're on Keto, drinking water won't hydrate you because you're losing electrolytes when you lose water. Hope this helps and please feel free to let me know if you have any more questions, but your symptoms led me right to that conclusion. You'll be amazed!

[@sueballinger1666]

Question that I cannot seem to get an answer to, and maybe it's not possible but here goes, If you continually eat high fat foods and never go into ketosis, are you clogging your arteries?

[@southernketo]

This is not medical advice: If you're not going into ketosis, that means that your carb count is too high. If by that, it causes inflammation, then yes, It could definitely cause that in some individuals. This may help a little more than a short answer here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nVeqpqh9OEmq8si=U7e5_y7adjyPNEcJ

[@sueballinger1666]

@@southernketo , Thank you. It's really lifestyle as far as I'm concerned. My husband had a stroke 16 months ago. One of his Carotid arteries is 100% blocked and the other after roto rooter, is now 76% blocked. We did Keto right before the Pandemic. He was working full time and I'm about 75% sure he cheated every chance he got and we really didn't do a very good job. January 1 is restart for me as my A1c was high and I refuse to take the prescribed medicines, with that said I am a Veteran so the choices are slim to none. I have to make the choice to get better!! I love your channel by the way.

[@southernketo]

​@@sueballinger1666 If you're cheating, it's going to invite inflammation, which is how the body tries to block what it sees as potential threats. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Plan on doing a few more videos about this topic in the coming year.. Thank you so much!

[@lindasingleton1828]

I know this is probably an elementary question, but is there actually good carbs ??? I see some that are promoting healthy life style, but then they promote what they call healty cereals, crackers, ect. but the carb count is really high,but protein is high also,but that is one thing that confuses confesses me. Maybe you could cover this when you do your next carb video. Thanks

[@southernketo]

That's a great question! There are some good carbs, but mainly from whole foods. A lot of these cereals and crackers and things like that have ingredients that are not good but they put a lot of fiber in there so that the carbs don't get absorbed, but they can still spike your insulin. That would be great topic to cover! My best rule is if you look at a label and it's things you can pronounce and make in your own kitchen if you had a recipe, It's probably okay as long as the carb count is truly low. You subtract the fiber from the carbs and also subtract any sugar alcohol. If it has a bunch of ingredients you can't pronounce, use sparingly. Thanks for the idea! 😁
